This is not new, I have seen ads for putting ashes in shotgun shells in the back of gun magazines for probably 30 years now. Doing it in shotgun shells is relatively trivial since it is just adding to the payload of birdshot, filling the spaces. Expanding it to filling hollow point projectiles is new but the quantities will be tiny. Variations in the wax will hurt long range accuracy too. And $8.50 per cartridge is ridiculous, where components cost about $1 each and it should take a half an hour or so. So good for them if they can make it work!

Craig, the producers will have to get a permit. Possibly they can, more likely be told the audience won’t be able to tell the difference between real skull or fake. You need a permit to own a skull(other than your own).

At my Godmother’s funeral last year in Taupo I met a relative called Paddy whose hermit neighbour had recently died – the family weren’t much interested in doing anything so Paddy loaded some of the neighbour’s ashes into 12 Gauge shells and gave him a proper send-off – a 21 gunshot salute with toasts, I guess.
All the guy had cared about was his block of bush and drinking so to have his ashes spread that way seems fitting.
